I wish we'd achieved Kirk Douglas' great challenge, 33 years on. At the very least, by now, no one in this world should be 'hungry-poor'. Nor have basic healthcare, or access to decent sanitation. Whatever the reasons, these injustices should have been corrected by now. There is enough wealth, just not enough will. But, generally, it's the ongoing conceit of the rich (by 'rich' I mean anyone reading this, and me) to think that they bear little or no responsibility for the existence of the poor.
Kirk is wonderful. I just really hate it when someone who does not live in America tries to tell us what our country is like or is doing. Kirk lives in a country that though he was hungry poor because of his father, Kirk could still go out and become a rich man and a star. Our political scene changes constantly because of a system that allows us to change it.
Sorry to disappoint you Kirk but today's politicians are just embarked in your country in imperialism. Education, poverty, programs of social uplift at home USA?
this was 34 years ago... and he is still alive today

It amazes me that he seems as sharp now as he did 32 years ago. He's very inspiring. You need to make the most of life.
